Home-Brewed Beer Odor Prompts Evacuation
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - A stinky home beer-brewing kit prompted a brief evacuation Monday at a Colorado Springs apartment complex.
Authorities told KRDO-TV that two people working at the complex encountered a noxious smell when they entered one apartment Monday. The workers felt ill, and Colorado Springs firefighters were called to clear part of the apartment complex.
The station reports that the odor came from a home beer-brewing kit, and residents were allowed back inside less than an hour later.
